William Paca and Daniel of St. Thomas Jenifer Autograph Document Signed Uncommon ADS, signed “Dan of St. Tho's Jenifer Inten.” and endorsed "Wm. Paca," one page both sides, 7.5 x 5, March 15, 1785. Handwritten document by Daniel of St. Thomas Jenifer as Maryland's intendant of the revenue, in full: "Ordered, that the Western Shore Treasurer pay to his Excellency William Paca Esq. one hundred & ten pounds three shillings & seven pence current money." Signed at the conclusion in ink by Jenifer, and endorsed on the reverse by Paca: "Contents received 15 Mar. 1785, Wm. Paca." In fine condition, with a trivial hole near the bottom edge, affecting Jenifer's signature. William Paca (1740-1799) was a signer of the Declaration of Independence from Maryland who served in the Continental Congress from 1778 to 1782, and as governor of Maryland from 1782 to 1785 (in which capacity he signed this document). One of America's Founding Fathers, Daniel of St. Thomas Jenifer (1723-1790) was Maryland-born politician and signer of the United States Constitution. Boasting two significant founders' autographs on a single document, this is a superb piece of early American history.

An Isoko Mask Isoko, Nigeria Mit Sockel / with base Holz, Rattan. H 38 cm. Provenienz: - Thierry Santos, Paris. - Galerie Alain & Abla Lecomte, Paris. - 2006: Westschweizer Privatsammlung. Ein Zertifikat der Galerie Lecomte (2006) wird dem Käufer ausgehändigt. Bei Sotheby's Paris (09.04.2022, "Living Contemporary", Lot 14) mit einer Schätzung von € 5'000-7'000 unverkauft. Eine identische (?) Maske wird von Philip M. Peek in "For Spirits and Kings - African art from the Paul and Ruth Tishman Collection" wie folgt beschrieben: 82. MASK FOR ERESE FESTIVAL Nigeria, Igbo-Isoko, Bendel State, Ase village Wood, raffa, cowrie sbells, brass tacks, H. 11¾ in. (29.8 cm.) 1940-60? This mask is virtually identical to one of three headdresses recorded in Ase, Bendel State, Nigeria, in 1971 (see fig. 30). The three are owned by Odiri, priest of Onye-uku-Ekukeni, the major clan deity for warfare. Fach mask is topped by a joined pair of unidentified animals further honoring the deity. Worn by masqueraders covered with feathers and colorful head scarves, such headdresses are the focus of the Erese festival celebrated each March to cleanse the town before other festivals can be held. This ceremony is properly known as Erese Okpokponso (from the Isoko kpo, "go," and Igbo nso, "forbidden," or "to move/drive away forbidden things"). The combination of Isoko and Igbo terms reflects Ase's complex history. The ancestors of Ase's founders left Benin centuries ago and gradually, over many generations, moved down the Niger River. Reaching the junction of the Niger and Ase rivers, two brothers went up the Ase and settled. The senior brother soon left to found what was to become the Isoko town of Aviara. For years Ase remained "junior" to Aviara, but later became affiliated with the powerful Ndosimili Igbo town of Abo. Ase now considers itself completely Igbo. A further reflection of the difficulty in tracing the origins of Niger delta and riverain communities is that Ekukeni quarter, where the creators of the Erese festival live, was settled by migrants from Erohwa, an ancient clan now linked to the Isoko but predating even the Ijo in the western Niger delta.
